The Rotary Club of Nelson Bay, Port Stephens Council, and the State Government have recently upgraded the site to ensure that the Lookout reclaims its status as an iconic tourist attraction for Port Stephens. Improvements include wheelchair accessibility and additional features such as the introduction of a viewing platform to the south, which has added a completely new dimension to this tourist attraction, opening up viewing to Stockton Beach, Newcastle and beyond.
Furthermore, a number of Interpretative Panoramic Display units have been introduced, to not only enhance the appeal of the Lookout but provide an understanding of the significance of the history of Gan Gan Lookout and Port Stephens
The Lookout, which is a key gateway to Port Stephens, now provides enhanced and expansive views of Port Stephens, as far north as Hawks Nest and south to Norah Head.
